Abstract
A mounting assembly (1) for mounting a plurality of inkjet print modules in an adjoining relationship along a longitudinal direction of the mounting assembly (1) comprises a linear guide (13, 14) extending in the longitudinal direction for supporting the plurality of modules such that the modules are movable along the linear guide (13, 14). It further comprises for each of the plurality of modules a carrier (100.1 . . . 4) for mounting an inkjet print head including an array of nozzles formed on a nozzle face, wherein the carriers (100.1 . . . 4) are supported on the linear guide (13, 14) such that they are movable along the linear guide (13, 14), wherein in a mounted configuration of the inkjet print heads their nozzle face is arranged on a first side of the linear guide (13, 14). Each carrier (100.1 . . . 4) comprises a first adjustment mechanism for adjusting a distance of the carriers 100.1 . . . 4) of two adjoining modules of the plurality of modules, the first adjustment mechanism comprising a first control member having an operating section for mechanically cooperating with a tool for adjusting the distance. Each carrier (100.1 . . . 4) further comprises a second adjustment …
